<p>I don’t think earnings is a valid basis for comparing success in engineering with success in humanities. Maybe we should use the applause received from a live audience instead.</p>
<p>But my point was that no degree, regardless of field, will guarantee you a job or success. Regardless of the degree your success depends far more on what you bring to the table than it does on simply having the degree. Too many people think the degree itself confers success, and when it doesn’t they blame their major instead of themselves.</p>
